It was first-day crescent according to both science and religion: Mufti Muneeb
Fawad Ch portrays himself as an expert of science which is only his ignorance, Mufti Muneeb.
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Following the Zil Hajj moon controversy, Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Chairman Mufti Muhammad Muneeb-ur-Rehman has stressed that it was first-day crescent according to both science and religion, Dunya News reported on Thursday.
While reacting strongly to Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry’s statement, Mufti Muneeb asked which science or book of astronomy determines lunar date by the size of moon.
The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee chief remarked that Fawad Chaudhry is portraying himself as an expert of science which is only his ignorance. His only work is to mock the religion, Mufti Muneeb affirmed.
It is pertinent here to mention that Fawad Chaudhry had on Wednesday posted a picture of the crescent on Twitter and wrote, “Is this the first-day moon? Does the moon stay in the sky for so long after the sun sets? Let the people decide for themselves…”
